Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Heading to the Morgue

"You also said, ’Not just in our country, pretty much everywhere else in the world is the same, and the most classic case is the Werewolf Howling at the Moon. Moonlight can transform a werewolf’s strength, turning it from an ordinary person into a terrifying man-eating monster!’"

"What should we do now?" Xian Qianling asked, frowning attractively.

"Because the ceiling of this corridor is transparent and has long been exposed to moonlight, and since it leads to the morgue and is seldom traversed by the living, with walls built on both sides, the yin energy here condenses and does not disperse, making it an ideal spot for preserving corpses," you glanced around and continued, "This ghost wall is naturally formed, which makes it tricky to deal with. However, I just thought of a simple and direct way to help us escape."

"Just stop beating around the bush and playing the detective. No little sister here is going to applaud you except me," Xian Qianling mercilessly shattered your façade.

You shrugged and said with a smile, "Actually, it’s very simple. Please pull out your handgun and fire towards the direction of the moon. Just making a big hole in the glass ceiling will do."

"Is it that simple?"

You nodded.

"Okay."

Saying that, Xian Qianling immediately pulled out her handgun from her waist and fired a shot at the ceiling!

"Bang!"

Who knew that the ceiling was made of tempered glass! The bullet didn’t penetrate the glass but rapidly bounced back, ricocheting twice off the walls before it terrifyingly shot towards Xian Qianling!

"Danger!"

At that moment, your eyes seemed to ignite instantly, and the eerie unknown Magic Seal appeared in both of your pupils.

At that moment, the bullet was less than three meters away from you and Xian Qianling!

While the trajectory of the bullet seemed to slow down in your eyes, it was only slow in your perception. The instant you discerned the bullet’s path, you lunged towards Xian Qianling!

Unprepared, Xian Qianling was immediately knocked down, and as you both fell to the cold ground, you felt a severe pain in your left shoulder.

Damn, shot again, and again in the left shoulder!

You and Xian Qianling lay on the ground, oh no, actually you were luckier, you were lying on Xian Qianling’s slender and exquisite body.

Oh~~

That wonderful touch—argh, it hurts!

The wonderful touch still couldn’t soothe the pain in your shoulder, and what was worse this time was that the bullet hadn’t penetrated the shoulder but remained lodged in the flesh.

"Are you hurt?"

Xian Qianling didn’t even have a chance to reproach you for taking advantage, her face anxious as she looked at you.

"It’s nothing, just a minor injury."

Enduring the severe pain, you sat up next to her.

"Did the bullet go in?" Xian Qianling asked, her expression solemn. Being a criminal police officer, she clearly knew how much pain and injury a gunshot could cause. "We need to get out of here quickly; you need to see a doctor!"

You shook your head slightly and asked Xian Qianling, "How many bullets do you have left in your gun?"

Xian Qianling, although unsure why you were asking, truthfully replied, "I think there are six left."

"Six?" You looked up at the glass ceiling, your left eye warmed up, and your vision kept zooming in until the spot where the bullet had hit enlarged several times in your left eye.

After identifying the bullet mark, you said to Xian Qianling, "Lend me the gun for a moment."

"What are you planning to do?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll give it right back to you after using it."

Xian Qianling, relatively trusting you, directly handed the gun over to you.

You weighed the model 92 handgun in your hand and felt it was lighter than you imagined.

Then, you told Xian Qianling, "Cover your ears."

"You’re going to shoot?" Xian Qianling did not expect this and immediately asked, "How’s your shooting technique?"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

You fired five consecutive shots!

And amazingly, all five bullets hit the same spot with no deviation whatsoever!

Due to your rapid-fire, the ceiling glass now had a hole the size of a bullet hole.

You handed the model 92 handgun back to a somewhat shocked Xian Qianling, smiling, "I left one bullet for emergency use."

During the conversation, only a "click" sound was heard, followed by the glass above starting to crack from the bullet hole outwards, and amidst the continuous sounds, the ceiling glass finally shattered into countless pieces, falling down.

You rolled over and once again shielded Xian Qianling beneath you, letting the falling tempered glass shards hit your body.

Although the shards of tempered glass were tiny, glass was still glass; hitting your body was not only painful but could also potentially cut a long gash in your skin at any moment.

However, due to your rushed actions, Xian Qianling didn’t react in time, and as you pressed her down, your bodies unavoidably touched and slightly rubbed against each other once more.

That delightful touch and intoxicating fragrance momentarily made you forget the pain on your back.

At this moment, you and Xian Qianling were less than ten centimeters apart, even closer perhaps!

You could already smell her breath, and at that moment, it seemed as though both of your gazes locked together.

You looked at her, and she stared back at you, as if an entire century had passed!

Until the sound of hurried footsteps nearby and two male criminal police officers loudly calling out, "Captain!"

You and Xian Qianling finally separated, your expression somewhat awkward, while she quickly returned to normal, though beneath that seemingly ordinary expression, who knew how many girlish thoughts were hidden.

Xian Qianling’s eyes, which had been misty before, gradually became resolute. She hurriedly helped you up with the two police officers who had arrived, concerned, "Are you alright? Is it a severe injury?"

You chuckled and shook your head, "It’s nothing,, the tempered glass doesn’t cut."

"But you have an injury on your shoulder; you need to be treated."

You glanced at the two police officers beside you and said to Xian Qianling, "Have you forgotten my identity? I’m from the Chu Sect. How could such a small injury stop me? Moreover, this is my first mission, and I must complete it successfully."

Saying this, you turned to the two police officers who had run over and asked, "Which way did you come from?"

Upon hearing you were from the Chu Sect, the police officer couldn’t help but show respect and saluted you, seriously saying, "We came from the morgue!"

"The morgue?"

Xian Qianling turned her head to look at the corridor, only now realizing that the environment around them had returned to normal, except now the ground was covered with glass shards.

"Has the corpse been found?" you asked.

The two police officers shook their heads simultaneously, "We searched nearby, and couldn’t find anything. We also checked the surveillance, and everything looked normal."

"Lead us there first, let’s see if there are any other clues."

Saying this, you were ready to move, but Xian Qianling suddenly grabbed your hand.

"What’s wrong?" you turned back to look at Xian Qianling.
